ain't no rest for the wicked - cage the elephant
i was walking down the street when out the corner of my eye,
i saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
she said i never seen a man, who looks so all alone,
could you use a little company?
if you pay the right price, your evening will be nice,
or you can go and send me on my way,
i said your such a sweet young thing,
why'd you do this to yourself?
she looked at me and this is what she said.
there ain't no rest for the wicked,
money don't grow on trees,
i got bills to pay, i got mouths to feed,
there ain't nothing in this world for free.
i know i can't slow down,
i can't hold back though you know i wish i could,
oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked,
until we close our eyes for good.
not even 15 minutes later, after walking down the street,
when i saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight,
then he swept up from behind, put a gun up to my head,
he made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight,
he said give me all you've got,
i want your money not your life,
if you try to make a move i wont think twice,
i told him you can have my cash, but first you know i've got to ask,
what made you want to live this kind of life?
he said there aint no rest for the wicked,
money don't grow on trees,
i got bills to pay i got mouths to feed
aint nothing in this world for free.
i know i can't slow down,
i can't hold back though you know I wish I could
oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked,
until we close our eyes for good.
now a couple hours past, and i was sitting in my house,
the day was winding down and coming to an end,
so i turned on the TV, and flipped it over to the news,
and what i saw i almost couldn't comprehend,
i saw a preacher man in cuffs taking money from the church,
he stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
but even still i can't say much cause i know were all the same,
oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills.
you know there ain't no rest for the wicked,
money don't grow on trees,
we got bills to pay we got mouths to feed
ain't nothing in this world for free.
we can't slow down,
we can't hold back though you know we wish we could.
you no there aint no rest for the wicked,
until we close our eyes for good.  |

Mr. Brightside - The Killers
i'm coming out of my cage
and i�ve been doing just fine
gotta gotta be down
because i want it all
it started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this?
it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
now i�m falling asleep
and she�s calling a cab
while he�s having a smoke
and she�s taking a drag
now they�re going to bed
and my stomach is sick
and it�s all in my head
but she�s touching his chest
now, he takes off her dress
now, letting me go
and i just can�t look - it's killing me
and taking control
jealousy, turning saints into the sea
turning through sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
but it�s just the price i pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
�cause i�m Mr Brightside
i�m coming out of my cage
and i�ve been doing just fine
gotta gotta be down
because i want it all
it started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this?
it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
now i�m falling asleep
and she�s calling a cab
while he�s having a smoke
and she�s taking a drag
now they�re going to bed
and my stomach is sick
and it�s all in my head
but she�s touching his chest
now, he takes off her dress
now, letting me go
'cause i just can�t look - it's killing me
and taking control
jealousy, turning saints into the sea
turning through sick lullabies
choking on your alibis
but it�s just the price i pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
�cause i�m Mr Brightside
i never...
i never...
i never...
i never... |

cowboys - portishead
did you sweep us far from your feet,
reset in stone this stark belief,
salted eyes and a sordid dye,
too many years.
but don't despair,
this day will be their damnedest day,
oh, if you take these things from me.
did you feed us tales of deceit,
conceal the tongues who need to speak?
subtle lies and a soiled coin,
the truth is sold, the deal is done.
but don't despair,
this day will be their damnedest day,
oh, if you take these things from me.
undefined, no signs of regret,
your swollen pride assumes respect,
talons fly as a last disguise,
but no return, the time has come.
so don't despair,
and this day will be their damnedest day,
oh, if you take these things from me.
oh, if you take these things from me. |

all by myself - Eric Carmen
when i was young
i never needed anyone
and makin love was just for fun
those days are gone
livin alone
i think of all the friends Ive known
but when i dial the telephone
nobodys home
all by myself
dont wanna be
all by myself anymore
all by myself
dont wanna live
all by myself anymore
hard to be sure
some times i feel so insecure
and love so distant and obscure
remains the cure
all by myself
dont wanna be
all by myself anymore
all by myself
dont wanna live
all by myself anymore
all by myself
dont wanna be
all by myself anymore
all by myself
dont wanna live
all by myself anymore |

hey Molly, remember this one?
go all the way - The Raspberries
i never knew how complete love could be
till she kissed me and said,
baby, please go all the way,
it feels so right
being with you here tonight,
please, go all the way,
just hold me close
dont ever let me go
i couldnt say what i wanted to say
till she whispered, i love you so,
please go all the way,
it feels so right
being with you here tonight,
please, go all the way,
just hold me close
dont ever let me go
before her love i was cruel and mean,
i had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now i've changed,
and it feels so strange
i come alive when she does all those things to me
and she says,
come on (come on)
come on (come on)
come on (come on)
come on (come on)
i need you (come on)
i love you (come on)
i need you (come on)
please, go all the way
it feels so right being with you here tonight
please, go all the way
just hold me close
dont ever let me go  |

when love breaks down - prefab sprout
my love and i, we work well together
but often we're apart
absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
till love breaks down, love breaks down
oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather
the sweet september rain
rain on me like no other
until i drown, until i drown
when love breaks down
the things you do
to stop the truth from hurting you
when love breaks down
the lies we tell,
they only serve to fool ourselves,
when love breaks down
the things you do
to stop the truth from hurting you
when love breaks down
the things you do
to stop the truth from hurting you
when love breaks down,
love breaks down
my love and i, we are boxing clever
she'll never crowd me out
fall be free as old confetti
and paint the town, paint the town
when love breaks down
the things you do
to stop the truth from hurting you
when love breaks down
the lies we tell,
they only serve to fool ourselves,
when love breaks down
the things you do
to stop the truth from hurting you
when love breaks down
you join the wrecks
who leave their hearts for easy sex
when love breaks down
when love breaks down

don't you ever learn? - Todd Rundgren
don't you ever listen?
don't you ever learn?
the hand may find you
its time to take a turn
you think this life is something strange
you're ready for another change
but don't you ever learn?
don't you ever learn?
don't you ever listen?
don't you ever learn?
the world is on fire
your body doesn't burn
kill yourself before receiving
something out of all this breathing
don't you ever learn? |

where did our love go? - The Supremes
baby, baby
baby don't leave me
ooh, please don't leave me
all by myself
i've got this burning, burning
yearning feelin' inside me
ooh, deep inside me
and it hurts so bad
you came into my heart
so tenderly
with a burning love
that stings like a bee
now that i surrender
so helplessly
you now wanna leave
ooh, you wanna leave me
ooh, baby, baby
where did our love go?
ooh, don't you want me
don't you want me no more
ooh, baby
baby, baby
where did our love go
and all your promises
of a love forever more
i've got this burning, burning
yearning feelin' inside me
ooh, deep inside me
and it hurts so bad
before you won my heart
you were a perfect guy
but now that you got me
you wanna leave me behind
baby, baby, ooh baby
baby, baby don't leave me
ooh, please don't leave me
all by myself
ooh, baby, baby
where did our love go?  |

in the blood - better than ezra
can you be so warm
can you know what i feel
well, it's the way you move your hands
and it's the way you understand
and that's the reason that i'm askin'
and that's the reason that i want to know
and that's the reason that i'm askin'
and that's the reason that i..
can you throw away
everything you live for
well it's the way we shake and sway
and it's the passion that you play
and that's the reason that i'm askin'
and that's the reason that i want to know
and that's the reason that i'm askin'
and that's the reason that i...
too many lost
links in a chain passed down through the years
through the years, but ending here if we just face the pain
and the fear
did you love before
didn't they love before you
but it's the way you move your hands
and it's the way you understand
and that's the reason that i'm askin'
and that's the reason that i want to know
and that's the reason that i'm askin'
and that's the reason that i...  |

for every minute every hour every day (every day)
so just you relax
take the weight off your back
there's nothing you can do
for how could they know this simple thing could go wrong
for once in a million
it just happens along (happens along)
i can't understand it

before i know it i'm losing you
losing you
losing you (i'm losing you)
before i know it i'm losing you (losing you)
losing you
losing you

i can't believe this is happening
i can't believe this is real
i don't believe i can take anymore
i can't carry on, no, i can't carry on
when i had the faith
well i'd go down on my knees
will somebody help me
won't somebody please
so tell me i'm sleeping
just tell me i'm dreaming
